“He didn’t see the green flash because he’d never been told to see it. But then one day he read a book on yachting which said, in effect, to go see it. So he did. And he saw it. There was the sun, green as green can be, like a “GO” light on a downtown traffic semaphore.”

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

J R R Tolkien was 45 before he published The Hobbit. You're doing fine, just be yourself and keep going.

I was in downtown #losangeles at the beginning of this week. The streets had a way different feel from what’s been on my screens. No signs of insurrection just love and peace. For more check out this full post open.substack.com/pub/baratund...

I feel an odd sense of having to avoid entrances and exits. I don’t like waking up in the morning, but I like being awake. I don’t like greetings or saying hi. But I like you being there. The whole “hello-goodbye” thing adds this extra element that hinders gumption and the quality of the moment

your light is going to irritate people. but it’s going to help guide people, too. don’t let the irritated people convince you to turn off your light just because they’re bothered by it.

Over the last few weeks, we have seen displays of unfettered cruelty.
Cruelty isn’t power. It’s a primal display of weakness and ignorance.
Kindness and empathy are intelligence. We must never forget that.

...someone drinks coffee from the favorite cup that you gave them. Someone heard a song on the radio that reminded them of you. Someone read the book that you recommended. Someone loves themselves little bit more, because you gave them a compliment.

I think it’s funny that people were upset over the halftime show because they wanted more diversity, equity, and inclusion… 🧐
